Vincent Kompany claims revenge was firmly on the mind of the Manchester City players when they took on Chelsea in the FA Cup on Saturday.
Manuel Pellegrinis men progressed to the quarter-finals with a 2-0 win, courtesy of goals in either half from Stevan Jovetic and the returning Samir Nasri.
The success cames just 12 days after Chelsea left the Etihad with all three points, after Jose Mourinho delivered something of a tactical masterclass. And Kompany claimed the players were determined to turn the tables and progress in the competition.
The Belgian told ITV: "We wanted revenge today. 12 days ago we had a really bad game, we gave them a lot of chances.
"Today we just adapted, they played the same and it was comfortable for us.
"From the word go we were hard in the challenge, we were spot-on creating a lot of chances and we didn't give any away.
"It's a big win against a strong team. We love the FA Cup. I think it was a great game for the competition and we're really happy with the result."
